“Palestinian and Israeli Educators: What Are the Opportunities and Challenges in Leading / Guiding our Children to a Better Future?” This cross-border workshop was the first cross-border opportunity for the Seeds of Peace Delegation Leaders program since before the outbreak of the Gaza war in the last days of 2008. Through these difficult times, the workshop was envisioned and organized by SOP staff members and Palestinian and Israeli SOP educators (Delegation Leaders, participants in the Model Schools Initiative, SOP facilitators, SOP parents and community leaders). It was not easy to organize this event; there were many delays. Members of the steering committee went against the currents of the day to make this workshop a reality. The Open Space meeting was prepared and facilitated by Carol Daniel Kasbari, a well-respected organizational consultant and facilitator for groups in conflict. Based in Jerusalem, Ms. Kasbari has worked with a wide range of NGO’s, public and private organizations; in the 1990s, she worked for a summer at the Seeds of Peace camp in Maine.
